The three nocturnes in this collection were selected because they are technically the easiest to play, and they should be quite accessible to most late-intermediate students. For teachers who are looking for pathway literature to the Chopin nocturnes, these three nocturnes by Field are not only an excellent introduction to the romantic style, but masterworks in their own right.

Der Titel des Klavierzyklus' Nacht-Urnen ist ein makabres Wortspiel mit dem franzosischen Begriff Noct-urne. Die Assoziation Urne - Grabgefass ist beabsichtigt, denn die Gattung des romantischen Nachtstucks fur Klavier wird in diesen Stucken - zumindest im ubertragenen Sinne - zu Grabe getragen. Das erste Stuck Nocturne greift auf den dreiteiligen Typ des Chopin'schen Nocturnes zuruck. Einer von zart getropften Tonen umspielten Melodie folgt ein bewegt - aufgewuhlter Mittelteil, dem sich die Reprise des ersten Teils anschliesst, diesmal allerdings wird die Melodie von leise rauschenden Skalen umspielt, ehe eine beinahe nuchterne Coda die musikalische Quintessenz brennglasartig zusammenfasst und bundelt. Dieses Stuck entstand 1998 und war Pflichtstuck beim Internationalen Schubert-Wettbewerb 2000 in Dortmund.Die drei folgenden Stucke bilden gewissermassen eine Einheit. Nummer zwei Ciacona notturna ist ein hochst virtuoses Werk fur die linke Hand allein, in dem sich grosse Klavierkomponisten, die Werke fur die linke Hand allein geschrieben haben - Alkan, Brahms, Godowsky, Ravel, Prokofieff - gleichsam ein nachtliches Stelldichein geben. Das dritte Stuck Unendliche Melodie - Melodie der Unendlichkeit (fur die rechte Hand allein - meines Wissens ausser einer Etude von Alkan das einzige existierende Werk fur die rechte Hand allein) spielt mit der Idee eines Zeitkontinuums, das schon vor Beginn des Stuckes unhorbar im Raum war und sich auch nach dem Ende des Stuckes in alle Ewigkeit weiter fortsetzen konnte. Ein einzelner Ton f in der Mitte der Klaviatur wird 55 Takte lang angeschlagen und uber ihm entfaltet sich eine weit gespannte Melodie, die die rechte Hand alleine ausspinnt. Exakt beim Hohepunkt der Melodie (es ist der Goldene Schnitt), wechselt das f zum e, das weitere 33 Takte lang angeschlagen wird, wahrend die Melodie daruber wieder zuruck zur Mitte findet. Diese 88 Takte symbolisieren die Unendlichkeit: 8 als barockes Zahlensymbol fur die Vollkommenheit der Ewigkeit und die liegende 8 als mathematisches Symbol fur die Unendlichkeit. Schliesslich ist in dem Titel des Stuckes noch eine Anspielung auf Richard Wagners Begriff der Unendlichen Melodie enthalten.Nach einem Stuck fur die linke und einem fur die rechte Hand allein, kann sich als viertes nur ein Unisonostuck anschliessen, in dem beide Hande stets die gleichen Tone, aber in unterschiedlichen Oktavabstanden und verschiedenen rhythmischen Akzenten spielen. La scala dell'inferno (Die Hollenleiter) sturzt von hochster Hohe in rasenden Skalen in die tiefsten Regionen des Klaviers hinab, unterbrochen von zwei kurzen Zitaten des Dies Irae in der Mitte.Der Schlusssatz schliesslich Marche funebre knupft in seiner dusteren Unentrinnbarkeit an die grossen Trauermarschvorbilder Beethovens (op. 26) und Chopins (op.35) an. Die sich in schwerem Funfertakt entlang rollenden dusteren Tonkaskaden werden in der Mitte von einem glasern-durchsichtigen Mittelteil unterbrochen, der in seiner gleissenden, fast schneidenden Helligkeit Assoziationen an Nahtoderlebnisse nahe legen mag. Die Nacht-Urnen op. 32 wurden 2001 im Museum Baden in Solingen von dem Pianisten Rainer Klaas uraufgefuhrt, dem der Zyklus auch gewidmet ist. - Stefan Heucke.

To Nocturner (2001) - for Chamber Choir (12 or 24 Voices). Texts by Ole Sarvig and Ib Michael. English version available: KP01444E Programme note: These two choral pieces for 12 voices consists of radical recompositions on of earlier themes: in Summer's Sleep we hear new combinations of two 'Sarvig melodies' from the 1970s (one of which is now in the Danish Hymnbook under the title aret, The Year): Michael's Night is based on an earlier, simple choral song (Star Mirror,1987), now for 12 voices and composed such that an original idea of simultaneously displaced, opposite motions cf. the poem) comes out as desired. Of the Nocturnes Norgard writes: Summer's Sleep wascomposed to stanzas of Ole Sarvig's poem The Year (from the collection Forstadsdigte ('Suburban Poems')) and forms the picture of the summer of life, which is asleep - while the heaven seed waits for the summer wind (invisible to every mind). The many layers of text are expressed musically in a multilayered choral texture with 'looks' up and down through the various tempo and time-worlds: summer sleep, summer dream. The second nocturne, Michael's Night, takes its name from the author Ib Michael, whose poem Star Mirror (from the collection Himmelbegravelse ('Sky Funeral') (1986) I pushed/coaxed him to expand from one to nine stanzas. The four selected stanzas set in the nocturne focus on the pan-erotic elements of the moonlit, starlit night. With the titles I have chosen I have stressed the mythic layer of the text, the summer night not as a dream but as sensual reality. The two nocturnes are dedicated to Ivan Hansen on the occasion of his fiftieth birthday on 25th February 2003, out of gratitude for over a quarter of a century of inspiring collaboration.
